Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What keyword would you use to ensure a variable is not optimized away by the compiler when it can be changed unexpectedly?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about variables that might change due to external factors.

Question 2

Easy

Write a line of code to set pin PD6 as an output.

πŸ’‘ Hint: You are manipulating the Data Direction Register.

Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What command sets a pin as an output in C for AVR microcontrollers?

  • DDRD |= (1 << PD6);
  • PORTD ^= (1 << PD6);
  • DDR |= (1 << OUTPUT);

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the DDR which is responsible for pin direction.

Question 2

True or False: The volatile keyword is used for variables that are rarely modified.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the behavior of variables in different contexts.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Write a C/C++ code that sets up an interrupt to toggle an LED when a button is pressed. Ensure to declare the flag variable correctly.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to set up the correct microcontroller registers to handle the button press.

Question 2

Discuss how you could optimize your code if your microcontroller has limited memory resources while also needing to handle multiple LED states.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the impact of your data structures on memory allocation.
